I have recently searched the
phrase "No man is an island..." and discovered its orginal author, John Donne,
with whom I am not so familiar. During further research, I could not find the
orginal piece of work that contained this phrase. I am developing a teambuilding
program for youth and adults that uses this phrase to express the concept that
people need people to survive, in a very basic sense. I am hoping the orginal
work will add meaning to my meager understandings. Any suggestions or discussion
will be eagerly accepted. Regards.
